Smart reminders, soft suspensions, and recovery offers. Recovered revenue with zero added friction.
Client context
For confidentiality reasons, we can't share the name. But the numbers and the industry are real. The StriqTech team implemented this project between 2025 and 2026.
Profile: growing company, with 10 to 50 employees, revenue between USD 300k and USD 3M per year.
The problem
Real causes of late payment (not all are money)
- The owner spent 15-25 hours a week on repetitive operational tasks
- Human errors cost between 3% and 8% of monthly revenue
- There was no real-time visibility into any key indicator
The solution we deployed
Automated collections flow
We worked in 2-week sprints, focused on measurable deliverables. We always start with the most painful: what hurts today is what moves the needle first.
Stack used:
- Self-hosted n8n (infra USD 5-10/month)
- Postgres database (Supabase or managed)
- Integrations with existing CRM and accounting system
- Internal dashboards with Metabase
The results
Results and positive side effects
Concrete numbers measured 90 days post-implementation:
- Hours saved: between 20 and 40 per week depending on the role
- Error reduction: between 60% and 85%
- Customer response time improvement: 3-5x
- NPS: +15 points on average
What didn't go according to plan
No project ships without surprises. Worth saying.
- We underestimated the operations team's resistance to change
- A key integration took longer due to vendor limitations
- For the first 30 days we had to keep two processes running in parallel
Replicable lessons
Start small and show impact fast: the first two weeks must produce a visible win. That buys the political capital for the next phases.
Involve the team from day one: if the system gets dropped on them, they'll sabotage it. If they co-designed it, they'll defend it.
Measure before changing: you can't show improvements if you don't have a baseline. Spend a week measuring before touching anything.
Project ROI
Total investment: USD 8,000 - USD 25,000 depending on scope. Annualized savings: USD 40,000 - USD 120,000. Payback: 2 to 5 months.
